In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah began to reign.

2 Han var seksten År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede to og halvtredsindstyve År i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Jekolja og var fra Jerusalem.

He was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.

3 Han gjorde, hvad der var ret i HERRENs Øjne, ganske som hans Fader Amazja.

He did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.

4 Kun forsvandt Offerhøjeneikke, men Folket blev ved med at ofre og tænde Offerild på Højene,

However, the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places.

5 Men HERREN ramte Kongen, så han blev spedalsk til sin Dødedag; og han fik Lov at blive boende i sit Hus, medens Kongens Søn Jotam rådede i Paladset og dømte Folket i Landet.

Yahweh struck the king, so that he was a leper to the day of his death, and lived in a separate house. Jotham, the king’s son, was over the household, judging the people of the land.

6 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Azarja, alt, hvad han udførte, står jo optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike.

Now the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

7 Så jagde han sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre, og man jordede ham hos hans Fædre i Davidsbyen; og hans Søn Jotam blev Konge i hans Sted.

Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in David’s city; and Jotham his son reigned in his place.

He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, as his fathers had done. He didn’t depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.

10 Men Sjallum, Jabesjs Søn, stiftede en Sammensværgelse modham, huggede ham ned og dræbte ham i Jibleam og blev Konge i hans Sted.

Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and struck him before the people and killed him, and reigned in his place.

12 Således opfyldtes det Ord HERREN havde talet til Jehu, da han sagde: "Dine Sønner skal sidde på Israels Trone indtil fjerde Led." Således gik det.

This was Yahweh’s word which he spoke to Jehu, saying, “Your sons to the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.” So it came to pass.

16 Fra Tirza hærgede Menahem ved den Tid Tappua og alt, hvad der var deri, og hele dets Område, fordi de ikke havde åbnet Portene for ham; derfor hærgede han det og lod Livet rive op på alle frugtsommelige Kvinder der.

Then Menahem attacked Tiphsah and all who were in it and its border areas, from Tirzah. He attacked it because they didn’t open their gates to him, and he ripped up all their women who were with child.

Pul the king of Assyria came against the land, and Menahem gave Pul one thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand.

20 Menahem inddrev disse Penge hos Israel, hos alle de velhavende, halvtredsindstyve Sekel Sølv hos hver, for at udbetale dem til Assyrerkongen. Så vendte Assyrerkongen hjem og blev ikke længer der i Landet.

Menahem exacted the money from Israel, even from all the mighty men of wealth, from each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and didn’t stay there in the land.
